Wild Bill

Out of prison after eight years, reformed East End villain Bill Hayward (Charlie Creed-Miles) has no intention of returning to his old life – or looking after his sons, now aged 11 and 15, despite finding them abandoned by their mother. But when the eldest (Son of Rambow's Will Poulter) threatens to put Social Services on his case, Bill is forced to face up to his responsibilities. In his first feature behind the camera, actor Dexter Fletcher shows real, um, dexterity with a grittily engaging tale of crime and redemption that's buoyed by a raft of familiar British faces and gobfuls of London-dry lip.
